It seems we still need to solve the problem of the parchment scrolls.
If the parchment scroll was placed in the Hidden City, the voice in his mind would be much quieter, which would also alleviate the princess's symptoms considerably.
Gu Mu left the study and walked towards the room where the princess was lying.
At this moment, the imperial physician had finished taking the pulse and shook his head with a worried expression.
Youyou nervously clenched her sleeves and stepped forward, asking, "Imperial Physician, please say something!!!"
"What does it mean to just shake your head??? The princess can't be beyond saving!!!"
Youyou's face turned pale with fright, and she bit her lip so hard that the skin broke and a few drops of blood seeped out.
"Imperial Physician, say something!"
Seeing that the imperial physician remained silent, Youyou continued to urge him on.
"Yes, Imperial Physician, say something!" Seeing the Imperial Physician pursing his lips and remaining silent, Lu Ming stepped forward and urged him.
After a moment of silence,
The imperial physician sighed and said in a muffled voice, "I am truly powerless to help. I cannot diagnose the princess's illness at all!"
A hint of worry rose in the eyes of the imperial physician. He had practiced medicine for decades and had seen countless difficult and complicated cases, but he had never seen anything as peculiar as the princess.
"..."
Youyou and Luming's expressions turned even uglier.
At that moment, the princess's voice came from inside the bed curtains: "Where is His Highness?"
Her voice was slightly better than before, which was barely audible.
Just now, she could feel the seductive voice in her mind rapidly weakening until it reached a level she could accept.
Although the voice was still echoing in his mind, and it seemed to be slowly increasing in intensity at an extremely slow pace,
But compared to before,
It's really much better now.
After regaining her composure, Shen Ling finally asked about His Highness's whereabouts.
She's been entangled with the parchment scroll for so long, yet she still hasn't found a way to deal with it.
She threw the parchment away, but somehow it would reappear in her sleeve, as if it were bound to her.
Even if she handed the parchment to someone else, it wouldn't take more than a few breaths...
The parchment scroll would automatically dissolve into the air like mist and then disappear.
Then, it appeared in her sleeve.
No matter what, she couldn't get the parchment scroll out of her sight.
"Could it be that His Highness has also fallen for the scroll's trap?" At first, when Gu Mu left with the scroll...
Shen Ling always felt that as long as Gu Mu left this door, the parchment scroll would return to her.
Hundreds of breaths have passed, and the parchment scroll has still not returned.
At the time, Shen Ling thought it was because Gu Mu and the parchment scroll had made a deal.
Can……
Slowly,
Shortly after His Highness left, Shen Ling felt the voice in her mind, which had been bewitched by the human skin scroll, suddenly weaken.
It must be His Highness...
Your Highness... truly can do anything...
Shen Ling's eyes darkened—Your Highness can do anything?
This idea only arose in this lifetime.
When she was first reborn, based on her guesses about the Regent's fate in his previous life,
Although she didn't know anything about the regent in her previous life
But it was also known that he was someone who endured hardship and humiliation during the power grab, but gradually became arrogant after gaining power.
Those who looked down on him when he was still an unfavored prince were all brutally murdered by him.
His abilities,
It's probably only used when seizing power.
Once he had power over the entire country, the regent became arrogant and reckless, which led to his tragic end.
Therefore, Shen Ling, reborn into this life,
She was skilled in unorthodox methods and possessed superior martial arts abilities.
In addition, her memories of her previous life allow her to distinguish between good and bad people around her.
Dealing with the regent should be quite simple for her.
All she wanted was for the Regent to not die at the hands of an enemy general after he had obtained everything.
Instead...
To die in an extremely painful way...
Why did she suddenly feel... that His Highness could do anything?
This feeling was strange, and it left her no choice but to think about it.
She narrowed her eyes, a complex expression in them.
Gu Mu, through the bed curtains,
It was impossible to discern Shen Ling's expression.
As soon as he stepped inside, he heard Youyou and the doctor's conversation, followed by Shen Ling asking about his whereabouts.
Gu Mu also wanted to know if the method of locking the parchment scroll in the Hidden City would also work on Shen Ling.
So he stepped forward, lifted the bed curtain and sat down. Looking at Chen Ling, whose eyes were half-open and whose face was still pale, he calmly said, "I'm here. How are you feeling?"
Shen Ling smiled, her eyes crinkling into a crescent shape.
"The sound is much quieter."
The throbbing sensation in my soul gradually subsided.
Finally relieved, Shen Ling, even though she was still suffering from the torment of the parchment scroll, still managed a smile: "Your Highness... how did you do that?"
She had dealt with parchment scrolls before and knew how troublesome they were; they were like a stubborn plaster that you couldn't shake off no matter what you did.
But……
This sheepskin scroll, which was as stubborn as a plaster, became docile in His Highness's hands in no time?
“I locked it up,” Gu Mu said coldly.
"Turn it off... Get up?" Shen Ling grabbed Gu Mu's sleeve.
There were indeed no parchment scrolls inside.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she exclaimed, "Your Highness, even if you put the parchment in a locked box, it can still escape..."
But the parchment scroll was indeed no longer on Gu Mu's person.
Your Highness... can you cure this parchment scroll?
